The left is losing more and more young voters everyday

Read carefully, I said it was NOT a Ponzi scheme because there is no fraud or deception.
Do you really not know the difference? First and most important is that a personal retirement plan is strictly voluntary. Now, I know it gets confusing because the IRS says that complying with their so-called rules is voluntary but this really is voluntary. SS is not. A private retirement plan is invested and most of the time, the customer has a say in how his money is to be invested. SS does not invest.
Now, do you need someone to tie your shoes for you before you run outside to play?

... and what would you say? Are you going to call her a hypocrite for taking the money back (far less valuable now because of inflation) that the government took from her without asking? You're a fine grandson.
as usual, Fox News goes on to cite poll after poll that says what the American public thinks... not what reality is.
it's easy to spin the truth and alter the public's perception.... regardless of reality. they're doing a damn fine job at it....

I did not label you a republican, Mr Neutron. If I wanted to do that, I would have put a quote of yours above what I said, just like I did now, to show that I am addressing your post. My post was a very true, broad view of Republicans. If you are not a Republican, you can probably appreciate that sentiment. But, alas, I must admit.....I DO think you are probably Republican. Am I wrong?

What he is saying is that his Mom is a Republican that tries to abolish SS, and when it comes her way, she is sooooo glad to have that extra income.
Honestly.....for anyone that has made any REAL money........we have always had SSI taken out, so I never really missed it. I am fine with taking care of others, even though I may not get my best ROI on the money I put into SSI. The reason we have these programs is to make sure people have some income to retire on, or at least live on in their twilight years.......I am sorry, but if you are rich, I am not going to cry that you put a little money into SSI and got a bad return on your investment.

Anyone that enters a debate with a Fox News Article as their source has already lost it. Everyone knows that Fox does not deliver news.

Good old "Fat Al", beating that dead horse into the ground. Hoping beyond hope there's still a couple 'o million dollars to be had. Forget it Al, that train has left the station.
Wooo Wooo, next stop...reality.
Is there anything more satisfying than watching a liberal get all bent out of shape when their lies aren't accepted any longer, despite the fact that the MSM machine keeps puking out their filth?

Ripping On Al Gore is all part of the huge campaign to Discredit global warning. The effort is being financed by the energy industry. The Latest Round of political commercials attacking natural gas is another example. Guess who is behind those? Big oil. And they hired the tea Party to carry the message for them

I find ripping on Al gore hillarious, I think thats the fascination, its just hillarious...its because of the global warming seminars and who can forget old time classics like Al Gore invented the internet.
All Gore is just Comedy Gold and that is why people will make al gore jokes from now until this generation dies, he should get a pulitzer or something maybe:

"You guys heard about Al Gore and Tipper splitting up? Everybody is talking about it. Everyone's blogging about this, and now there are reports online that his daughter and her husband are splitting up. I bet this is the one week where Al Gore wishes he didn't invent the Internet." –Jimmy Fallon
[SIZE=-1]How is Al Gore like Chinese food? One hour after you give him a campaign contribution, he's back for more.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Vice President Al Gore met with Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura to try and get his support in November. To give yourself some idea how the meeting went, pull off the head of a Ken doll and stick it under the arm of a Jesse Ventura doll.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]A man died on a subway train in New York City and his body rode the train for five hours before anyone noticed it. Apparently they thought it was just Al Gore in town to campaign for Hillary Clinton's Senate bid.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]The White House has admitted that thousands of incoming e-mail messages on campaign fund-raising and other matters cannot be searched in response to House subpoenas because of unintentional computer errors. In a related story, Bill Gates decided to support Al Gore since this proves the White House uses Windows.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Al Gore tries to appeal to Hispanic voters in New York by speaking a few words of Spanish at campaign appearances. That's not going to get him many votes in November. What he really needs to do is figure out how to get his picture to appear miraculously on the front of a tortilla.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]According to the latest presidential election polls, Al Gore and George W. Bush are running in a dead heat. Gore looks dead and Bush looks like he's in heat.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Vice President Al Gore is supporting a $7.8 billion rescue plan for the Florida Everglades that is being studied by Congress. Al has a special attachment for the Everglades. He didn't invent them, but he does claim to be the first person to ever say, "See you later, alligator."[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Vice President Al Gore has a campaign ad showing him and his son Albert Gore III climbing Mount Rainier last year. A mountain-climbing expert in the ad says the qualities needed to climb mountains are the same ones needed in a president. However, when interviewed later, he wouldn't verify Gore's claim that he invented yodeling.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Vice President Al Gore and Hillary Rodham Clinton shared the stage in New York at a rally held by the Young Men's Hebrew Association. They both have personal connections to the members of this organization. Hillary says she has some Jewish ancestors and Al claims he invented bagels and lox.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]There's a new magazine out called the Journal of Mundane Behavior which contains scholarly analyses of the ordinary, earthy and just plain normal things people do in their lives. I thought we already had a journal of mundane behavior. It's called the Vice Presidential Handbook.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Baseball great Ted Williams is endorsing George W. Bush for president. However his bat is endorsing Al Gore.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Al Gore attended the opening of the first Internet cyber-cafe in South Central Los Angeles and was introduced as "an honorary black man." Now there's a stretch. Al Gore's staff has to keep reminding him that hip-hop is not a dance where you put your right foot in and then take your right foot out.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Presidential candidates George W. Bush and Al Gore have both been using Spanish in their speeches to try to appeal to Hispanic voters. Bush doesn't sound too bad but Al Gore sounds like the Taco Bell dog trying to convince his owner not to neuter him.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]The Republican National Committee has a huge billboard just 500 feet from Al Gore's presidential campaign headquarters. It shows a picture of him hugging President Clinton and a quote from Al where he calls Clinton "One of Our Greatest Presidents." Wait until the Republicans find out Al likes the sign. The picture of him is more life-like than the real thing.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Documents released by the White House show that the Democratic National Committee asked Al Gore to make 140 calls to campaign donors but he only connected on 56 of them. The other 84 hung up because he sounds just like a dial tone.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]More bad news for Al Gore's quest to become president in 2000. Paula Jones claims he exposed himself to her in a hotel room and he has no distinguishing characteristics whatsoever.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Hillary Clinton is trying to appeal to Jewish voters in New York by revealing that the second husband of her grandmother was a Russian-born Jew named Max Rosenberg. If that works for her, Al Gore plans to announce he invented the matzo ball.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Researchers at Stanford University say they may have found the gene that causes narcolepsy, the disease where people suddenly fall asleep at odd times. If they can find a pill that cures it, the Gore campaign promised to buy the entire supply to spike the punch at his next campaign dinner.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Al Gore said in a speech he thinks it's great that Hillary Clinton is running for the senate in New York and he's not worried about her raising money from Democrats that could have gone to his campaign. In fact, they've already divided up New York City into areas that will give each the best support. Hillary is taking uptown and downtown and Al is taking Chinatown.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]If you're in New York in the near future, check out a show called Thwak at the off-Broadway Minetta Lane Theatre. It stars two mimes but only one is silent. The other makes sound effects. Do you know what the technical term is for a mime that makes sound effects?

[SIZE=-1]How did Al Gore break his nose?
Clinton made a fast turn.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Al Gore was arrested for shooting a spotted owl. When he got to court, the judge said, "You know it's illegal to shoot spotted owls. They're an endangered species."
Gore replied, "I know, your Honor, but I was lost in the woods and I was starving. That poor owl was the first food I had seen in three days!"
The judge took pity on Mr. Gore and said, "Well, I'll let you off with a warning this time. It's obvious that you were trying to survive. Just don't do it again."
The Vice President swore that he wouldn't and thanked the judge profusely. On his way out, the judge stopped him. "By the way, Mr. Vice President, how did it taste?"
He thought a moment then replied, "Not bad... not bad, a lot like bald eagle."[/SIZE]

"Social Security is structured from the point of view of the recipients as if it were an ordinary retirement plan: what you get out depends on what you put in. So it does not look like a redistributionist scheme. In practice it has turned out to be strongly redistributionist, but only because of its Ponzi game aspect, in which each generation takes more out than it put in. Well, the Ponzi game will soon be over, thanks to changing demographics, so that the typical recipient henceforth will get only about as much as he or she put in (and todays young may well get less than they put in)."

You've always had SS taken out, so you never really missed it. That is the deception. Most people don't miss it, it's just a little bit each paycheck. It's the same with the income tax, take it right out of the check so people become used to the idea that they do not get ALL of their wages, they get wages minus whatever the government wants to take out. Try being self employed and see how easy it is to pay double the SS AND have to write the check for it.
How many people would want to change our tax laws and SS if they had to pay for it out of their pocket instead of having it conveniently and quietly stolen from their property?
So, you agree that SS is a bad ROI but yet, you defend it? What about the not-so-rich, is their poor ROI any less? You really haven't thought this out very well, have you?
